I myself am not that deep in the swamp of Dagobah in this whole Star Wars subculture - I always thought it was very nice and saw it all several times in several versions, but even I know what sucks about the second trilogy. For example the dialogues, the fart jokes, Jar Jar Binks and everything with young Anakin. The Youtuber took this and much more JeremyMWest Esquire as an opportunity to edit all this crap out of the films to actually make them more usable. Here is a list of the exact changes in «The Phantom Menace»:
Here's a brief listing of the edits:
- Nemoidian and Gungan voices are re-vocalized with alien dialect and subtitled.
- Journey to Gungan underwater city removed
- Jar Jar is now a useful character instead of an annoying tag-along
- Nemoidians are much more devious and less cowardly
- Childish Battle Droid dialog removed
- Queen Amidala's voice is pitch-shifted back to her normal pitch. (Still could not remove her horrible British accent)
- Naboo pilot Ric Olié's endless plot exposure removed when appropriate
- Midichlorian references removed
- Anakin immaculate conception removed
- All fart and poop jokes removed
- Anakin is edited to be a more deliberate hero instead of an accidental one.
- Removed as many "Yippe!" And "Whoa!" And "Whee!" Exclamations as possible.
- Removed the two headed pod race announcer
- Shortened the podrace intro scene and tightened the whole race for more tension
- Removed the entire sequence of trying to capture the Viceroy at the end.
«Attack of the Clones» he has of course also made up his mind and we should all be very, very grateful for that!
